[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hbls00190:
Hi all,

Hope this isn't breaking any forum rules...but I wrote a small app called DroidEssentials to cater for some missing parts of Eclair - e.g. I've noticed on this thread many people asking about missing headphone icons. I really want to stay with VE5 so I thought I'd try and make an app that fills in those missing bits for me.

This app gives you a headphone icon when you plug in. Also, battery notifications when at 10% and 5% thru 1% and when battery is full so you can unplug the charger.

Feel free to download and let me know how it works (only tested on gsm hero running VE5). Comments/suggestions appreciated..?

Sorry for the advert, my first app, but I genuinely only built it so I could stay with VE5! If this should be a seperate thread - please let me know!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oopeteroo:
i have already tried the short way, but didnt work.

in the long way in the second recharge do i need to rewipe battery stats again ?

hmm isnt it so, that if i use a lower kernel it will be more battery ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
No. You don't need to rewipe the battery stats. I found this longer method somewhere on VillainRom forum...

But make sure that you use the charger pluged in the wall, not an USB cable to your PC.

And during the whole process, don't charge or reboot your phone, except when the process ask it! So: no PC connexion...

And the whole process must be redone after each rom flashing of course.

And yes, you will spare some battery with a lower CPU frequency. But I think the proportion [battery gain]/[speed loss] is not worth it. I my opinion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
agreed. unless you're taxing your cpu a lot at very high speeds it has made very little difference to my phone until I get to such slow speeds that my phone doesn't run well (awake) or doesn't wake up properly (when severely underclocked during screen off).

I can run most roms for 36 hours if I use the phone very little and don't futz with it all the time (which, unfortunately, I tend to do...). and I typically run at 691/350ish or 691/250ish if that is the only option available (with occasional wake-up color issues from the 250 speed).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
BTW @dkelley, I see your posts on all topics like your'e testing every each version of every each ROM... Cool. But how do you manage to recalibrate your battery stats from time to time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I flashed 4 roms yesterday :-)

on my first new flash today now.

I only recalibrate every 10th time or so. doesn't seem to need it otherwise.

and I do it the easy way, I let it shutdown nicely due to it thinking the battery is about to die. then I reboot, let it die again, try a third time, normally won't do anything by then. plug in, boot into recovery, wipe battery, reboot into a rom (it just is comforting to have the charge led showing somehow while charging) and let it charge fully. That isn't until the led turns green, it takes longer than that (especially with froyo where it turns green at 90% charge!).

so I give it a good extra half hour or so after I first notice it turning green, or overnight if I happened to time things well.

done.

it always works, I get great life out of my roms unless something starts acting badly in my apps or if I leave the twitter client at it's default of 15 minute refresh (wtf!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xinos:
Just a quick question applying themes using metamorph doesn't seem to work it says it needs to reboot after applying, but the theme is still the same after reboot.

Nonetheless fantastic rom. Works smoothly and enabling jit makes it just a bit notecable faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
think the main reason is.. launcherpro was included as the system launcher in CM 5.0.8..

i really dun understand why u wanna remove the default launcherpro tho.

anyway, to put it back, just red/ ve5 and xtract the com.fede.launcher.apk from the system/app then adb push it back. should work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] topifone:
Sometime an application is closed just right after I click to open it so I have to reopen it again. I normally have 50M free Ram and use swap (90M). My radio is 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14

This also happens with other ROMs (Villain 12, Kimera 2.1). Any one have the same problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
Hi, first thanks for the great rom, I really like it.

I have a few questions, some might have been asked somewhere, but going thru 30+ pages are pretty time consuming.

1. How stable is JIT in this rom?

2. I commented out the last line of build.prop #dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast and pushed back then reboot, however, when I pulled it out again, the last line was uncommented again. Does this mean JIT got disabled again?

Regards

James
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
Hi Radug,

just a suggestion before you leave.

hopefully you can make this rom a perfect 1 before you leave

1) Hardware accelerated Touchscreen

2) Kernel tuned for more performance

3) Battery life which i guess is 1 of the most impt?

and maybe i few more that i dont know that i didn't list out, with all these i believe that this rom will a lasting 1 before you leave and we all can stay on with your work. Thanks!!

The cronos 2.1.2 has updated and maybe you can follow some of his updates.

with regards, shiny
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Cronos don't release source code.

The touchscreen driver fix is in the repo in my signature. There's no such thing as a "hardware accelerated touchscreen". It's a touchscreen. Do you have a hardware accelerated mouse? Since when did input devices come with processors on board? The fix is to implement filtering into the event hub so the OS doesn't get spammed by twenty bajillion touchscreen events per second (thus causing high CPU usage) every time you touch the screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
If you flash the extreme kernel JIT is enabled by default. How stable? Try it yourself, depends on what programs you use and too many variables. I had no stability problems whilst benchmarking.

Are you using a taskkiller by any chance? And is that a SWAP set up on your SD card? Because 99% of rom's don't use the swap - could be causing your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
I tried flashing the extreme kernel, got stuck at HERO boot screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
You can either reboot through ADB or wipe dalvik, funny enough it works as well even though it shouldn't. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I'm working on the updates. If not today, you'll have it tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] forka2k:
For me the last line is this one:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The last line should be:

That's the one you should comment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Ah, they are like this on my end:

89 dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
90 ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1
92 ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL
93 net.bt.name=Android
94 ro.config.sync=yes
95 dalvik.vm.stack-trace-file=/data/anr/traces.txt
96 ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
That is the one from RC.... And it's not good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Cool. Just downloaded. Will be trying this tonight!! Thanks, Radu :)

Just a quick question: If I push the CM version of ADW to system/app, will its settings be under the setting menu, just like on CM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I just got a random reboot :(

But I dont know how to find the log of what I was doing previously. I only know how to adb logcat, but this only show me what is happening now.

Help needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Oh, I did a full wipe and flashed the 5.0 along with the lokernel. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaabrysz:
I've edited the build.prop but when i try to push it back i get a message that i have "read-only file system" ??

Any ideas?? i'm on win7x64.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
RaduG, anything I should know before doing a reveiw on RootMyDroid?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Everything that has to be known is written in the first 3 posts :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:
Multitouch can't be fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaabrysz:
Ok i think i've done it. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
Thanks, it looks like good work as always... :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaabrysz:
Hmm strange. I've enabled Jit (i think i did) but the linpack score is 2.98 so i think i did something wrong. Ahh i don't care, this ROM is great fast and stable even without Jit :)

Great work RaduG ! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@42turkeys

Please share your experience with this ROM here too. Cheers.

@gaabrysz

With JIT you should get ~4.9MFlops.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevin-sc:
Hei,to enable jit like this?

#dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Yep. Then save the file, push it back to /system and reboot.

@Judim

I forgot to tell you, but now the lag should be gone. It was caused by some error-checking-routine done in real-time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gaabrysz:
Yes, but i get ~2.9 hmm i did edit this file in windows notepad, is that ok ? and i did push it to /system/build.prop or should it be /system/ only??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
RaduG, any chance of an update.zip to enable JIT? I'm at work so can't use adb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
After you save the file:

Then reboot.

@42turkeys

Maybe later, I'm now on windows and I don't have the necesary tools to build a signed package.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Awesome! Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Nice! and as always waiting for it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:

hi anyone know how to change sense lockscreen to vanilla lockscreen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hihyou:
hi, I don't know how to flash "ExtremeKernel @768/176 + JIT" can you give me some help? at first i tried flash "VanillaEclair 5.0 NAS @ 691/176MHz!" and after i flashed this extreme kernel.. after reboot i saw only first boot picture "hero" and that's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Reboot through ADB or wipe dalvik and reboot. Like I mentioned before, second way is not official but worked trice for me already. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Koolen:
Thanks for this great ROM, after fiddeling with it for the best part of today I found everything I need working, working! :D

Thank you!

Question:

How to enable JIT?

I've seen the second post but I don't understand it. Could someone explain to me in plain English what I need to do, where to go, what to type.

Thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
My englisch ist not the best ;)

1. Install the SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2. Connect your Hero with the PC

3. type: adb pull /system/build.prop .

4. Edit the file -> add a # to the last line

5. save ;)

6. type: adb push ./build.prop /system/build.prop

7. type: adb reboot

8. JIT :)

Im lost with Facebook sync. Ok, FB sync works like a charm. I have problem with contact links to Facebook. As i see sync work only with people how had same name in adressbook and Facebook. Or i miss something?

How to link "*****" in phone book with facebook profile name Maya Maya :D ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bjarte:
You should be able to with Phonebook 2.0 from the market.

Standard Android doesn't have this feature as it is Facebook for Sense that has this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
Actually, you can link whoever you want with any facebook account you want, pretty much as in Sense ROMs : on the contact that you want to link, click Menu, then Edit. Here, click menu again, then Link. Here you are :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
you mean join? because i cant find the word link
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
Yeah, right, Join it is :) Sorry, I'm on French UI ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
haha, but when i join the name in my contact changes to the facebook name and the fb name sometimes is in nickname which i dont want
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
Yep, I also had this issue... Actually, it depends on what order you linking the contacts : google contact with facebook contact, or facebook contact with google contact. Not sure about this, but it seems to work for the few contacts that have nicknames...

Try again ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:

hi RaduG,

been looking forward to the VE5 update over the weekend...

I know you could be kinda busy now, but any chance the update could be available this week?

I am currently using VE4, VE5's reboot issue is really bugging me since I don't always carry a laptop with me to conduct a adb reboot

Someone said it was OK to reboot from recovery if stuck at the htc logo screen, does that really work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I tend to wipe dalvik after popping the battery when it happens but only happened when I restored my system from bart or installed it fresh.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sam.wangcong:
you mean you only encounter reboot issues when you restore system from bart or fresh, or that dalvik wipe can only help resolve reboot issues after you restore system from bart or fresh?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
FYI I've never had any reboot issues with this rom.

Only problem I have once in a while is a game will spontaneously quit sometimes, typically when I'm doing really well LoL. That's very frustrating. No FC, just quit back to home and no way to resume, just restart.

Happens with different games.

So will have to experiment with different settings to see if I can figure out why.

At this point I'm not sure if it's a 5.0.8 thing in general or if it's specific to this rom.

this is all just speaking as an end user of course, not as a rom developer. I'm anxiously awaiting the update as well :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Any ETA on the update ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I only have it then. Usually I'm fine rebooting it though I have to say that it never happened with 4.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fabulous691:
hello guys

Im quite boring about Sense and i'm searching a stable and fast vanilla rom for daily use, with no major bugs as reboot etc...

It seems this rom will be updated isn't it, because of some reboots bugs and no 100% compatibility of the rom with the market's apps?

Does anyone could inform me on this rom, on speed, stability, and told me if there is others differences that cpu speed between these versions:

what is Lokernel/freekernel?

and does the rom is usable, stable and fast with 576/176 cpu settings

Thx for advance to everybody for your help.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
most stable vanilla rom (100% stable in face) is vanilla eclair 4.0

imho - but from plenty of experience using all of them for extended periods.

edit: it's the old version, the predecessor to this. it is built upon 5.0.7 cyanogenmod instead of 5.0.8 cyanogenmod.

there has yet to be a perfect 5.0.8 build for the hero. they all (both current ones) have some issues. You can use them, but don't expect 100% release quality perfection.

I've read people who praised the new versions. Iv'e tried them repeatedly for extended periods. I've always had issues with regular daily things - VE5.1 will result in some apps/games just randomly quitting without warning. cmh1.4.3 has rebooted my phone more than once, and it should never happen even once. ve5.1 is REALLY fast though, insanely fast for complex 3d gaming. Both VE5.1 and CMH1.4.3 are great roms. but VE4 is actually release quality vanilla for the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msnxda:
I agree! VE4 is the most stable ROM. You notice the difference, or actually you don't notice it as it should be. Very good battery life too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] almery:
Radug a modifié les tables des fréquences disponibles dans un but d'optimisation de vitesse de sa ROM. Il en résulte 3 versions :

- Lokernel : Avec des fréquences de base, sans overclocking.

- FreeKernel : La table des fréquences est onchangée(ou peu, je ne sais pas) et te laisse choisir toi même les fréquences que tu désires avec un outils comme le widget Overclock (que tu trouves sur le Market)

- Extremkernel : La rom overclockée à souhait, qui roule du feu de dieu si tant est que ton Hero soit capable de supporter la fameuse fréquence de 768 mHz.

Si tu ne sais pas, je te suggere de telecharger les versions Extrem et free, de flasher en premier lieu la version Extrem et de voir si ton Hero passe l'écran de boot. Si c'est le cas, supprimes la rom Freekernel et enjoy.

Dans le cas où ton hero ne passe pas l'écran de boot, il redémarera sans cesse et pour briser ce cercle, tu peux retirer la batterie. Flash alors la rom free à la place de extrem et utilises le widget nommé précédemment pour améliorer les performances.

PS : ton hero ne risque absolument rien si tu flash l'extrem et que tu ne passes pas l'écran de boot, c'est du vécu ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mozoran:
VE5 has stopped working completely, it wont start anymore and I just get stuck on the HERO loggo. In the beginning wiping dalvik-chache did the job but now that doesnt work anymore either. Just to have a working phone I had to go back to my old ROM.

It started when I tried to flash the extreme kernel but it didnt start so I reflashed the original VE5 and it worked again, then I manually activated JIT and it didnt start so I wiped dalvik and it started again. Then it worked for 1 restart and I was back att the loggo again. I have tried to reinstall VE5 with a complete wipe, didnt work. Installed another ROM and configured it, then a complete wipe and VE5 again, didnt work. So now Im stuck on my old ROM and that one isnt good.

Currently waiting for the update so I can test and install that one to see if I can get it to work again or if someone know what to do, really like this ROM and would want it to start up and run again :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] idarknight:
I got close to that - I needed to reboot after a freeze this morning and was stuck on "Hero" after two battery pulls. I finally got it to boot up and it seems stable for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
Yeah, I have been installing lots different Roms lately, MCR, CronoDroid etc, I think this one is the fastest, an update to fix the booting issue will be good... Also how do I disable to camera shutter sound?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
I too get freezes occasionally when i wake up from sleep. Not sure what the problem is, might be VE5 itself or LauncherPro. I'm using one of the latest versions of LauncherPro...maybe it has gotten too bloated for it's own good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sam.wangcong:
Well, guess I am gonna stick with VE4 until VE5 is updated.

What kernel are you using? This can usually be resolved by flashing the freekernal and use setcpu or overclockwidget to set the lowest cpu speed at 245 or above
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
I'm using freekernel. This freeze isn't the usual freeze that happens when the 'display off' cpu speed is set too low, I'm familiar with that freeze. This is more like a 'cpu is doing a lot of stuff in the background' kind of freeze.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattyShire:
Just downloaded and flashed your rom last night after using Villainrom12 since it was released. All went well, except that now my phone freezes about a minute after bootup? I wiped everything (including format the SD after flash) but i can't get through the setup wizard without it freezing and rebooting itself :( I tried the hardware reset with and without the SD and sim card too. Unfortunately the USB on my computer is knackered so I'm a bit stuck and confuzed. If anybody knows of a solution it would be greatly appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
